Staffield Country Resort

Mantin , located just at the border of Negeri Sembilan and Selangor is a rated top 5 golf course in Malaysia named Staffield Country Resort. It use to be my home club. The funny thing with Staffield is the logo they are using and it's a Chicken. A Rooster.

Staffield is always in my heart. Everytime i go there and play , it reminds me of 7 years ago being a kid. Every staff in Staffield knows me as i beat many middle age golfer. Imagine a 12-13 years old in a buggy with 3 middle age man and the one who conquer the game is that kid. And he is teeing off at the blue tee box. When i'm 10 , i start out with the red tee box. Next year , i went to the white and for the following year it's the blue tee box. At the age of 13 , i'm able to drive 230M.

Let's go back to Staffield. It has 3 Nine's , the Northern , Southern and Western. Western is the easiest to play and very forgiving with wide fairways and short Par 4. Southern is the most scenic with a lot of trees and the signature hole number 8 Par 3 where you have to tee off across the water to the green measuring 164M. Northern would be the longest one and hardest to play as there's a lot of trees and ponds.

Western is the easiet and a must play if you want to have a nice golfing day. So start out with Northern and next with Western. Or the other choice is start with Western and next to Southern.

There's a driving range and this is the place where you can practice on the grass and it's well maintained.

1) Price
Price are always different. During the Ramadhan is RM100 for weekends. And now i guess is RM120 for weekends and RM75 for weekdays. It's totally worth to play as you can really have a lot of fun here.

2) Fairway
Fairway are well maintained in most of the holes. Except some where you can find mix of Bermuda and Cowgrass. Due to my experience , you can only find 3 holes in such situation(cowgrass in the middle of the fairway) which is the Southern Hole #1 , Western Hole #4 and Hole #5.

3) Green
Green are forgiving with average speed but dont expect your ball will spin here. It's a hard one. Green are well maintained where you can have a smooth putt. And it's a forgiving green. Easy to read green.

4) Clubhouse
One of the most beautiful clubhouse i have ever been to where you can have your 19th hole here facing the last hole of the beautiful Western and Southern course. Food are not too shabby and try the fried tauhu. Tasty one.

5) Others
Caddies are all ladies in here. I might say they dont know anything about golf but this is what i like. They wont disturb my game. They just take care of your clubs , see where your ball lands , clean and mark your balls. This is what a caddy should do and what i want them to do. Besides golfing , there's a tennis court , squash , swimming pool , pro shop ( Pan West ) , and nursery room. The changing room is a high class one with spacious bath room and nice locker.

Staffield is a course where you can really have fun and feel the challenging. Both of it. And it's a golf course with a lot of shade althought there isnt much tree around. This is the weird thing and until now i still cant figure it out. So , experience the beautiful and windy day of golf in Staffield.
